They'd be stupid not to expect a grilling, and no doubt they'll do their best

"Complexity. A Windows server out of the box is an elaborate system. Although
it performs specific tasks well (such as being a web server) there are many
services that have a complex set of dependencies, and it is never clear which
ones are necessary and which can be removed to improve the system's
efficiency."
